A historic town building transformed into a vibrant and dynamic craft brewery will open its doors on Friday in a huge boost for Caernarfon.

The once derelict Caernarfon Market Hall has been turned into a “flagship tourist destination” which will include multi-use floor space together with a craft brewery and bar, while a 400 seater restaurant is to follow in January.

Developers say the renovation of the 19th-century building will create jobs, increase visitor numbers and benefit surrounding businesses.

The contractor behind the project David Williams of Pobly Cyf said: “The building will be a multi-use exit space with the potential to show live boxing and to have a good Christmas market.

“What this development does do is transform a derelict building into a vibrant and dynamic environment that will help create employment and provide another asset to Caernarfon as a ‘flagship tourist destination’.

The craft brewery and bar is hoping to become a 'flagship tourist destination.'

“I am overjoyed that this project has finished and that we’ve crossed over the finishing line.

“It’s exciting to see the market hall come back to life.

“I would personally like to thank my wife Caren Lloyd for putting up with me through the long hours.

“Also thank you to Mr Edward Pursglove for being the guiding light through the pressure.

“I would also like to thank Llyr Bulmont, head of economics for Gwynedd Council for believing in the project and also to Nick Davies for being so helpful in developing this historic building.

“Finally thank you to everyone else that has been involved in the project.

“Now it’s game on!”

Opening hours at the premises are between 8am and 11pm.

Licensing for the hall was approved in April, with the brewer being Gareth Humphries and will officially be opened on Friday at 7pm.
